1. How many milliliters are in 2 liters?

• A. 2000 mL
• B. 20,000 mL
• C. 200 mL
• D. 2 mL

Correct answer: A

Rationale: There are 1000 milliliters in 1 liter, so 2 liters equal 2000 milliliters. The conversion is based on the fact that the prefix 'milli-' means one-thousandth. Therefore, the correct answer is 2000 mL. Choice B, 20,000 mL, is incorrect as it multiplies 2 liters by 10. Choice C, 200 mL, is incorrect as it divides 2 liters by 10. Choice D, 2 mL, is incorrect as it incorrectly assumes that 2 liters is equal to 2 milliliters.

2. What is the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?

• A. (C × 9/5) + 32
• B. (C × 5/9) + 32
• C. (F × 9/5) - 32
• D. (F × 5/9) - 32

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The correct formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is (C × 9/5) + 32. This formula involves multiplying the Celsius temperature by 9/5 and then adding 32 to get the Fahrenheit temperature. Choice B is incorrect as it suggests dividing by 5/9 instead of multiplying by 9/5. Choices C and D are both incorrect because they involve using the Fahrenheit temperature in the calculation, which is not the correct method for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit.

3. What is 0.025 mg converted to micrograms?

• A. 25 mcg
• B. 250 mcg
• C. 2.5 mcg
• D. 0.25 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams to micrograms, you need to multiply by 1000, not 10000. Therefore, 0.025 mg is equal to 25 mcg. The correct conversion is obtained by recognizing that 1 milligram (mg) is equal to 1000 micrograms (mcg). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert milligrams to micrograms. Choice B is 10 times the correct answer, choice C is 100 times less, and choice D is 100 times less than the correct conversion.

4. What is 0.2 mg converted to mcg?

• A. 200 mcg
• B. 20 mcg
• C. 2000 mcg
• D. 2 mcg

Correct answer: A

Rationale: To convert milligrams (mg) to micrograms (mcg), you need to multiply by 1000 because there are 1000 micrograms in 1 milligram. Therefore, 0.2 mg * 1000 = 200 mcg. This is the correct conversion. Choice B (20 mcg) is incorrect because it does not account for multiplying by 1000. Choice C (2000 mcg) is incorrect as it mistakenly multiplies by 10 instead of 1000. Choice D (2 mcg) is incorrect as it does not involve any conversion from milligrams to micrograms.

5. What is the formula for calculating the volume of a solid object?

• A. V = W/L
• B. V = L x W x H
• C. V = W/H
• D. V = L/W

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct formula for calculating the volume of a solid object is V = L x W x H, where L represents the length, W represents the width, and H represents the height. Choice A (V = W/L) is incorrect as it represents a division operation, not multiplication. Choice C (V = W/H) is incorrect as it does not account for the width and height. Choice D (V = L/W) is incorrect as it represents the inverse operation of what is needed to calculate volume.
